Nippon Ichi Software Developing Another Action RPG

A little tidbit from Dengeki PlayStation is Nippon Ichi Software has another action RPG in the pipeline. The developer behind Disgaea and horror series Hayarigami has been steadily expanding into action RPGs with games like Blue Roses, The Witch and a Hundred Knight, and most recently Battle Princess of Arcadia.

It’s unclear if this is a follow up to The Witch and the Hundred Knight or if it’s a brand new game. NIS America will release The Witch and the Hundred Knight in the West early next year.

Looks like NIS will be kept busy for a while. It’ll be interesting to see how they do on more ARPG’s.

You know what would be nuts? If NIS made a Disgaea fighter and have Arcsys help out on it. It would be more broken than the Hokuto No Ken fighter. xD

Gordon would win everyone :P

That WOULD be pretty cool, I cannot deny. Though I wonder if they would be willing to spend money on something so far out of their comfort zone, what with their latest troubles.

.:Raphællius:.

That wouldn’t be a breaktrough, making disgaea an action adventure hand drawn Sidescroller game like would be!! they wouldn’t go that far out of their comfort zone if they did that, like a dragon’s crown like game, set in the Makai Senki Universe.. Prinny 1 & 2 Style @chubunato:disqus

Man I’ve always dreamt of that. It can really work just like how Arcsys made Persona into a fighting game.

(slightly off-topic) Like how Blizzard made a RTS into a MMORPG.

Please NIS and Arcsys make it happen!

Bentan

My money is on something using the Witch and Hundred Knight engine but under a new/different IP.
